Galactic History
Exar Kun is not considered a Sith within the Empire because he had no connection with them and was completely foreign to many of their rules and customs. Yet he was indeed a Sith, recognized as such by the ghosts of ancient Black Lords. The war he waged against the Republic and the Jedi was not limited to disrupting their space. The Mandalorians were part of it, and the ensuing Mandalorian Wars are a direct consequence.
Even for the Empire, it was only after him that the Emperor finally began the shenanigans that would lead to the wars of TOR. Exar Kun has ushered in an era of wars between Jedi and Sith, of which those between the Republic and the Empire are the latest avatars.
